Case Study: How Motor Control Can Impact Performance

Written by Jenna Gourlay Case Study

Are you having difficulty determining if an individual is ready to return to their activity/sport following an injury?  Using metrics such as the Y-Balance Test takes opinion off the table and uses data to make the safest decision for your client. 
 
FMS Pro Jenna Gourlay, PT, DPT, SCS, walks us through a great case example of how using the Y-Balance Test helped identify single limb assymetries in a high level volleyball player and allowed her to focus on the correct interventions to get the player back on the court safely.
